PRECAUTION AND LENS MAINTENANCE

Leaving the camera in the direct sunlight without covering the lens with the lens cap, may damage to the inside of the camera.

When storing the lens in a case, attach the front and near lens caps that come sup- plied with the lens to protect it from dust and scratches.

After removing the lens from the camera body, be careful not to let it roll over or fall. Be sure to place the lens with its front side down.

Moisture can cause serious damage to optical glass elements. Storage in a damp place may cause mildew, so avoid storing

the lens in a place where temperature and

humidity are high. Keep you lens in as dry a place as possible.

If you do not expect to use the lens for an extended period, store it in the case with a desiccant or it is recommended that the lens occasionally be taken out of the case and placed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place to avoid the possibility of damage due to condensation build-up.

Use a blower or lens brush to remove dust on the lens. If the lens becomes dirty, remove the dirty particle with a blower brush, then wipe it off with a clean cotton cloth or tissue paper moistened with lens cleaning solution.

Wipe in a spiral pattern from the center to the outside.
